What it is
If you’re arrested and don’t pay the fine, you’ll spend a few real minutes in a cell.
How to get out
- Tap the jail banner on your phone and choose Pay Bail, or tap Pay Bail in the cell.
- Ask your bae or a close friend to pay: they’ll see Pay ₦… bail in your messages.
- You can also try to settle the officer for about 40% of the bail. It works 55% of the time.
- If you’re a nepo baby, you can call Daddy once a week.
- You can hire a cell lawyer for 50% of the bail, or try to escape once. If you fail to escape, your time in the cell increases.
Rules & numbers
- Your time in the cell is one tenth of the charge sheet, in real minutes, up to 6 minutes.
- Bail is 40% of the fine, adjusted for the time left. It is at least ₦2,000 and at most ₦1,000,000.
- There is no bail in EFCC custody.
